You are an absolute GOAT man, I am a great fan of your work. Thank You!

[@ArchitectureVanguard]

Much appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@marybethc1189]

This is exactly what I came here to learn. Thank you again for the thorough learning tutorials.

[@ArchitectureVanguard]

Of course, glad you found it helpful!

[@beyzakalkavan3178]

Thank you very much for this such helpful video. It helps me understand clearly the basics of the family concepts.

[@ArchitectureVanguard]

Very glad to hear that, you are welcome!

[@tomaszwisniewski319]

Thank you for this tutorial, please make more videos about making families with nested components and parameters

[@ArchitectureVanguard]

You’re welcome! I will do that, there’s a lot that can be covered with families.

[@omharish2112]

This what I was looking for to learn Basic Family . You have explained very clearly. You are very good to teach. Keep it up

[@ArchitectureVanguard]

Thank you, I will!

[@dmedina380]

Awesome video man, great explanation and details!

[@ArchitectureVanguard]

Glad you liked it!

[@ericwang8377]

Thanks for the video, appreciate your work.

[@ArchitectureVanguard]

You’re very welcome!

Thanks man, great videos. - Can you make a video about how different parameters work in Revit? Which one is good for what, how they work with schedules, etc. - Another idea for a video is to cover how formulas work in connection with parameters...

[@ArchitectureVanguard]

Thank you, I am glad you enjoy them. I could do my best to make an intro to parameters and an intro to formulas video!

[@bernddistler3830]

Very good video! Thanks!

[@ArchitectureVanguard]

Thanks so much, I am glad you found it helpful!

Great video. I am new to Revit. I am a mechanical engineer (large mining equip and such) but my new job has me working in Revit to design conveyor layouts and 3d models. If you have an advanced Families video with nested families I would be very interested to see it. In the mean time I will be watch more of your vids (and smashing that like button)

[@ArchitectureVanguard]

Ahh very good and welcome to Revit! Happy to help for sure. These are the closest thing to an advanced family video I have for you: kzbin.info/www/bejne/baOpm4JpncqtpZo kzbin.info/www/bejne/pIjOcnqMbrKherM

[@mohamedabrar8000]

Great tutorial, thank you very much. Would be able to post a video on nested families?

[@ArchitectureVanguard]

Yes I can, that is a good idea!

[@mthornhill1961]

Very good clip. Thanks Have you done a clip for a door family to apply a swing element?

[@ArchitectureVanguard]

Are you just looking to change the swing of the door in plan? I can do a video about that.

[@mthornhill1961]

Architecture Vanguard That’s exactly what I’m looking for.

[@ArchitectureVanguard]

Ok cool, I will look to do that soon!!!

[@peterlisauskas3916]

Great video, can you explain why creating a shared parameter post creation causes the length to change to the family length instead of retaining the modelled length. Also why does a shared parameter not always show the length in a schedule. The reason for asking is that I changed an existing family from project to shared but the length parameter didn’t show n my schedule.

[@ArchitectureVanguard]

I believe the issue may have to do with changing from a project to shared parameter, not 100% on that though. I will say as of revit 2022, shared parameters will not show in schedules.

[@KaderKader-pb3eg]

thanks a lot

[@ArchitectureVanguard]

You are most welcome

[@samisaab2119]

hi there, very good video, i have a problem, am not able to join any created family with any element in project. do you know why?

[@ArchitectureVanguard]

That’s just unfortunately the way it is. There is no way to join from a family to system elements in Revit. What are you trying to join?

[@samisaab2119]

Tapered footing to raft

[@ArchitectureVanguard]

I gotcha, I assume the tapered footing is your family? I dont think there is a good way to get these to join just it being a family.

[@samisaab2119]

@@ArchitectureVanguard thanks . you are completely correct. and i keep watching your videos. they are clear, and straight forward towered information.

[@kameleongreen]

Constructive criticism, try to normalize your volume with other videos on youtube, I had to turn up my volume on youtube, and on my pc just to hear you.

[@ArchitectureVanguard]

I agree, I have improved the audio as of late but could always use some normalizing. Thanks

[@ramyanemuri6219]

that music in the background is so disturbing... can u remove it?

[@ArchitectureVanguard]

I agree, I have removed it in future videos.

[@jijun7781]

Thank you for the tutorial. But you voice level very low.

[@ArchitectureVanguard]

Thanks you! I think I have since address my audio to improve it.
